Normandy 1944 photos as compared to today

Here's the link to a sort of slide show presentation. It shows buildings, houses, churches in black and white photos taken around the time of D-Day; then a comparative color photo taken from the same angle as it looks today.

Turn the election's in 2014 to a "2A Revolution". It will serve as a 1994 refresher not to "infringe" on our Second Amendment. We know who they are now.........SEND 'EM HOME. Our success in this will be proportional to how hard we work to make it happen.

A friend sent me the same as a MS Powerpoint. I was astounded. It took a lot of time to go through old WWII archives and then match the photos to the current and then create a digital book. A very moving presentation, and I love the soundtrack.

"He went on two legs, wore clothes and was a human being, but nevertheless he was in reality a wolf of the Steppes. He had learned a good deal . . . and was a fairly clever fellow. What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life. The cause of this apparently was that at the bottom of his heart he knew all the time (or thought he knew) that he was in reality not a man, but a wolf of the Steppes."

Thank you for posting this! I was in Normandy in July of 2005. If you ever get the opportunity, visit the "Musee pour la paix" (Museum for peace) near the city of Caen. When I was there, they had a theater in which they showed a film with two movies playing simultaneously, side by side on the same screen. The films showed synchronized activities of the allies' preparations for the invasion next to the Nazi activities. I thought it was very interesting.

That was amazing. On a related note...there's something coming up sometime here shortly on the History Channel on a fella that just recently found his 8mm film that he had stowed away after the war. They preserved it, it's in COLOR to boot. They're going to dedicate an entire show to it and show off some of the footage.

"Sure, As long as the machines are workin' and you can call 911. But you take those things away, you throw people in the dark, and you scare the crap out of them; no more rules...You'll see how primitive they can get."
